A lot of Ironman athletes want to lean up heading into their event to improve their power to weight ratio. But it can be a difficult balance between dropping body fat and still having enough energy to perform at training.   

In this episode, I give you 7 tips to drop body fat without affecting performance in your next Ironman build.   

1. Eat strategically
2. Get a sports Dietitian Approved meal plan
3. Let training drive the change
4. Do it earlier rather than later
5. You shouldn’t be race weight all year
6. Slow and steady wins the race
7. Track changes with skin folds -  not the scales

Drop weight properly and you won’t fall into a hole, you’ll better maintain your energy levels and smash it come race day!
